STATON, Judge.

Village Furniture appeals the entry of summary judgment in favor of the Associated Ins. Managers, denying Village Furniture of the coverage of an insurance policy protecting it against loss due to fire. The following issues are presented for our view:

I. Whether the agent had a duty to explain the contract terms which pertained to the problem for which Village obtained the insurance policy?

II. Whether the agent assumed the duty to explain the terms of the contract pertinent to Village’s needs when the agent voluntarily undertook to explain other terms of the contract?

Reversed.
